+# Accessibility Features in Application Autoscaler
+
+To optimize your experience of Application Autoscaler, SAP Business Technology Platform \(SAP BTP\) provides features and settings that help you use the software efficiently.
+
+
+
+> ### Note:  
+> Application Autoscaler runs on the SAP BTP cockpit. For this reason, accessibility features for SAP BTP cockpit also apply. See the accessibility documentation for SAP BTP cockpit on SAP Help Portal at [Accessibility Features in SAP BTP Cockpit](https://help.sap.com/docs/BTP/65de2977205c403bbc107264b8eccf4b/8153bc43bc7d44009549b375ed5c9632.html).
+
+For more information on screen reader support and keyboard shortcuts, see [Accessibility for End Users](https://help.sap.com/docs/SAPUI5/bc5a64aac808463baa95b4230f221716/f562835d0b4e44129aa24a17551a0baa.html).
+
+Additionally, Application Autoscaler provides high contrast themes. See [Use High Contrast Themes](accessibility-features-in-application-autoscaler-94b439d.md#loio94b439d4bda34ff291527c44115d3bc5__section_rz5_4h5_3qb).

+
+## Use High Contrast Themes
+
+
+
+### Context
+
+This feature is recommended for users with need for high contrast themes.
+
+
+
+### Steps
+
+1.  Open the *Application Autoscaler Dashboard*.
+2.  In the upper right corner of the screen, choose your profile name and then *Choose Theme*.
+3.  Select the high contrast theme you prefer: *High Contrast Black* or *High Contrast White*.
+
+    Your selection is applied automatically.

+# Defining a Custom Metric
+
+Define your own metrics to scale applications based on your requirements.
+
+
+
+<a name="loio87e657e691ac48ba85fd777c042afbd8__context_mch_m4g_n4b"/>
+
+## Context
+
+As an alternative to the standard metrics provided by the Application Autoscaler, you can also define custom metrics such as memory consumed in megabytes or in percentage, response time, and throughput for scaling. Custom metrics offer more flexibility, so that you can scale applications based on your own requirements.
+
+To use custom metrics, you need to perform the following tasks:
+
+1.  Report a custom metric to the Application Autoscaler by defining a policy.
+
+2.  Emit custom metric details using the HTTP API at regular intervals.
+
+
+The following example shows a policy with a custom metric:
+
+```
+{
+   "instance_min_count":1,
+   "instance_max_count":4,
+   "scaling_rules":[
+      {
+         "metric_type":"jobqueue",
+         "breach_duration_secs":60,
+         "threshold":100,
+         "operator":">=",
+         "cool_down_secs":120,
+         "adjustment":"+1"
+      }
+   ]
+
+```
+
+> ### Note:  
+> The metric type used for custom metrics must not be any of the standard metric types.
+
+> ### Tip:  
+> We recommend a minimum duration of one minute between successive emissions of a custom metric.
+
+
+
+## Procedure
+
+1.  Bind your application with the Application Autoscaler service instance using a policy that contains custom metrics scaling rule.
+
+2.  Read custom metrics binding credentials from the application environment.
+
+    > ### Sample Code:  
+    > ```
+    > "custom_metrics": {
+    >       "mtls_url": "https://autoscaler-metrics-mtls.cf.<landscape>.hana.ondemand.com",
+    >       "password": "some_secret_password",
+    >       "url": "https://autoscaler-metrics.cf.<landscape>.hana.ondemand.com",
+    >       "username": "some_username"
+    >      }
+    > 
+    > ```
+
+3.  Use the X.509 certificate in the file with the path provided in the environment variable `CF_INSTANCE_CERT`, and the private key in the file with the path provided in the environment variable `CF_INSTANCE_KEY` as certificate and key for mutual TLS authentication \(mTLS\) with the base URL provided in the `mtls_url` of the service binding.
+
+    > ### Note:  
+    > The X.509 certificate and private key pair are valid for 24 hours. At least 20 minutes before expiration, they are regenerated and new files replace the existing files. Make sure that your code reloads the X.509 certificate and private key pair if they are expired. See [Using Instance Identity Credentials](https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/instance-identity.html) in the Cloud Foundry Documentation.
+
+    `url`, `username`, and `password` are provided for backwards compatibility with the HTTP basic authentication scheme and should not be used going forward.
+
+4.  Push custom metrics at an interval of your choice using APIs. For the REST API specification, see [Application Autoscaler custom metrics API](https://api.sap.com/api/ApplicationAutoscalerCustomMetricsAPI/resource).

+# Defining a Scaling Policy
+
+Define a policy to scale your application instances either dynamically or based on schedules.
+
+To initiate the scaling of an application, you need to define a policy. A policy is a JSON file containing an array of rules or a single rule for scaling. This JSON file is passed while binding the service with the application to be scaled. For more information, see [Initial Setup](initial-setup-f3e7fa9.md).
+
+You can choose between the following types of scaling policies:
+
+-   [**Dynamic Scaling Policy**](dynamic-scaling-policy-e6927e5.md)
+
+    Scale your application instances based on memory/CPU usage, reponse time, throughput, or custom metrics.
+
+-   [**Schedule-Based Scaling Policy**](schedule-based-scaling-policy-204e423.md)
+
+    Scale your application instances based on schedules.
